Trunky Friday
Written by John MacphersonHad a stressful week? Need something to soothe your fevered brow before you depart work for the weekend? Well if Funky Friday is your preference, hang on I’m sure one will be along shortly.
In the meantime here’s something to fill your synapses with…….I’ve flagged up the glorious and thought-provoking work of Iain Sarjeant here before, but no apologies for doing so again when its an image as beautifully soothing as this one.
Need I say any more? Enjoy.

John MacPherson was born and lives in the Scottish Highlands. He trained as a welder in the Glasgow shipyards, before completing an apprenticeship as a carpenter, and then qualified as a Social Worker in Disability Services. Along the way he has cooked on canal barges, trained as an Alpine Ski Leader & worked as an Instructor for Skiers with disabilities, been a canoe instructor, and tutor of night classes in carpentry, stained glass design and manufacture, and archery. He has travelled extensively on various continents, undertaking solo trips by bicycle, or motorcycle. He has had narrow escapes from an ambush by terrorists, been hit by lightning, caught in an erupting volcano, trapped in a mobile home by a tornado, kidnapped by a dog's hairdresser, rammed by a basking shark and was once bitten by a wild otter. He has combined all this with professional photography, which he has practised for over 35 years. He teaches photography and acts as a photography guide & tutor in the UK and abroad. His biggest challenge is keeping his 30 year old Land Rover 110 on the road. He loves telling and hearing stories.

Thanks John – much appreciate the kind words!
Any time Iain – that’s an image to savour and return to again and again. Worth a shout!
A lovely image indeed, John. At first glance it reminded me of a swarm of butterflies. Some mighty fine images on Iain’s website too.
Quite sublime. The contrast between Iain’s urban ‘found’ landscapes and the full on nature work is quite stark, but there’s obviously a sharp eye at work there. The nature work is particularly hard to do that well, so consistently.
I have had a stressful week, that was a great antidote. Thanks, John, for featuring Iain’s work, I’m a fan it has to be said.
A satisfied customer – that’s what I like to hear!
Have a good weekend Ed.
